I recall there was some reason I didn't do this when adding the block comment code, but I don't recall what it was. Perhaps it was the initial line of files. Maybe your $realline > 2 test fixes it. Maybe not. Dunno. If you run this against the entire kernel code using a unique test type and not BLOCK_COMMENT_STYLE are there any false positives? Maybe test with something like: $ git ls-files -- "*.[ch]" | \ xargs --max-args 20 ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --types=<your_unique_test>
